Thread Naming: Your Name – “Mech” or “Monster”
Keep all questions in this thread

It all started a few years ago. The sky seemed to just open up and these creatures poured out. Covering the planet like spilled milk on a kitchen table. At first, it was a massacre. They destroyed everything they came up against. Our armies were no match. Just target practice. Their sheer size was just one of the many things making it difficult to fight back. Then, all that changed. The Mechs were created specifically to fight back. Bigger than anything humans have ever built for war. New weapons made for the sole purpose of monster killing. One after another the monsters fell. But the monsters still put up a good fight. Even with these newly created weapons, each battle was up for grabs. Either side could be the victor; it just depends on which side you choose to choose.

Due Date: Sunday May 31st 11:59pm GMT

Idea:

First, you need to pick a side. Mech, or Monster.

If you go with Mech, try and come up with an idea we haven’t seen before. Being creative is fun sometimes. But, if you have a design that has been done before and you really want to do, go for it, I won’t stop you.

If you pick monster, try and create a monster we haven’t seen before. If you want, take a name of a creature from myth/legend and give it a face. But, like with the mech option, if there is a monster design that’s been done before that you really want to do, go for it.
